Very Computer

Hi. I'm trying to get scanner working under Linux (Debian 2.1), with no
luck so far. The scanner's a HP ScanJet 3c (HP C2520A 3503) - supported
by SANE, according to the SANE docs. But my problem's happening before I
get as far as SANE... I think I'm screwing up my kernel configuration.

boot/dmesg shows:

  scsi : 0 hosts
  scsi : detected total

My scanner's card has an NCR53c400A.

When I do...

  modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=5 ncr_addr=0x350 ncr_53c400=1

...I get this message:

  scsi0 : SCSI bus busy, waiting for up to five seconds
  scsi0 : bus busy, attempting abort

Then the computer freezes completely. Yuck.

Here's the (I hope) relevant stuff from my "make menuconfig" setup:

  SCSI support: included
  SCSI generic support: excluded
  SCSI low-level drivers --->
       Generic NCR5380/53c400 SCSI support: included as module
         Enable NCR53c400 extensions: included
       NCR5380/53c400 mapping method (use Port for T130B): Port

I'm not really sure what I'm doing. Any advice would be very much
appreciated.

In case it's any help, here's the info Windows gives about the scanner
during boot-up:

   NCR SDMS V3.0 SCSI MiniCAM Driver
   PATH 0 is a V1.6 BIOS with IMAGE=044A:0000 IRQ=00 DMA=No

   HP ScanJetII ASPI/CAM Driver for DOS
   Scanner found at SCSI ID 5

If I've missed some information that might be relevant, please let me
know and I'll post it.

Thanks for your time,

Tim

Ugh. After some more searching of DejaNews (no excuse for not doing a
better search the first time), I've found a message suggesting that the
NCR53c400A is not going to work under Linux (solution: buy another SCSI
card).

I'll keep checking this thread in case anyone can tell me it _can_
work - but basically: sorry for this needless thread.

Thanks,

Tim
